I don't think I've seen a thread on this yet...
Has anyone tried this game?
I could not be more disappointed. It's essentially a regression of Civ 5. The UI looks like it's unfinished, the diplomacy mechanic is somehow worse (seriously.... this has always been a weak point for single-player mode), the tech tree and affinities seem like it's just an optimization. Each game feels like it's exactly the same and I'm playing against opponents with no personality at all. The only positive I can think of with this game is that the barbarian mechanic (aliens) is somewhat improved, although because of the other mechanics in the game aliens are not even a consideration once you get a few affinity levels and that feels like a mistake. Also, I felt like I needed to do more micromanagement for this game... and it's mindless micromanagement with more clicks/screens needed to set things up.
I've played 3 games now (2 epic) and I think I'm done until they make a bunch of changes.... if it comes from a $30 expansion I will probably just skip it. It's clear the team that makes this game is not adding any meaningful new ideas or change in gameplay concepts. This feels very much like a cash grabs. :(
